Vasque Clarion ’88 Boot
Upgrade your trail look with a Vasque boot in a bold new orange color. The Clarion ’88, a classic style, performs just as well as you would expect from a company that has over 50 years of experience. The boot — which is now back to the market 30 years after its original debut — has an updated design with durable yet lightweight suede and mesh uppers, sure to last through constant hikes and backcountry adventures this spring. A durable EVA midsole and high rebound foam footbed also provide comfort with each step you take, while a Vibram rubber outsole and heel brake keep you stable on rock scrambles meaning no sprained or broken ankles. Based on the brand’s shiny past, the boots are sure to perform on a technical level, but the retro design is really what sets them apart.
